Way to go to your mom!!!! My mom never was big, she was always thin, but was always on a diet.... She was the one that got me on my first diet... looking back at my old pictures I didn't even needed to lose weight but she made think I did... Then I started to gain weight. My dad always called me "big-butt". Yes I have junk in my trunk, so what? I wasn't fat, it was my body shape! I'm a pear shape. So that's where my self-esteem issues started. That's I think that support group my nutritionist is starting will help me a lot. It's a 14 weeks thing, with tons of workshops with specialists.
I wish I could have a buddy to help me with my new life-style. But the friends I have that needs to lose weight don't want to, or if they want to lose weight they want a fast, easy trick. Which doesn't work. And dh can eat whatever he wants and never take a pound! His work is really physical, and when he's home he never stops, always something to do... He took only 15 pounds since we've met, but all in muscle mass! darn! And I feed him cake 2 times a day!
That's why I rely on forums to help me. I need to talk to people with the same issues!
aahhhh that felt good!
